Senior CNN Producer Fired for Allegations of Inappropriate Behavior

CNN announced Wednesday it had fired senior producer Teddy Davis over allegations of inappropriate conduct.

“A comprehensive investigation was conducted as soon as this matter was brought to our attention. The behavior attributed to Mr. Davis does not align with the standards and values of CNN and Mr. Davis is no longer with the company,” a CNN spokesperson said in a statement.

Davis was the senior producer for CNN’s Sunday talk show “State of the Union,” which is hosted by Jake Tapper.

And in still more harassment news: @cnn tells me it dismissed Teddy Davis, senior producer of @jaketapper‘s “State of the Union” program, over behavior “that does not align with the standards and values of CNN.” Three women had complained about Davis.

A source at CNN told The Hollywood Reporter an internal investigation revealed Davis made his coworkers feel “uncomfortable,” though there were no reports of physical or sexual assault.

Tapper confirmed Davis’ firing on Twitter, saying he was “fully supportive” of the move and praising CNN for reacting “swiftly and appropriately.”

“Workplaces need to be safe and I am fully supportive of CNN’s action,” Tapper said.

This tweet is accurate. When CNN executives were told about these complaints, they reacted swiftly and appropriately, as they should. Workplaces need to be safe and I am fully supportive of CNN’s action. https://t.co/S4ZPNfTCPm
